'It does not look like much, does it? They call it Taliesin's Breith these days. Of course back then they called it by another name. To some it was the House of Song, to others the Poet's Dream and to yet others the Bard's Hall. We used to call it home. In Dunwaith where if you did not aspire to conquest then you prepared against invasion, a humble collection of dwellings like Cairn-Aisling didn't cross the minds of beggars, let alone Kings. Nevertheless the Dun was the closest town of note, with the exception of the Faed, but the less that place goes mentioned the better, no?
So there it rests, and within you will find people gathered during festivals, Name Days, and other causes of celebration. Here there would be song, poetry and verse. Tales of the courageous, tales of the corrupt, tales of the heroic, tales of the wicked. Beneath thatched roofs in round rooms the alert and the drunken would behold, in rapt attent, the epics, the sagas, the tales of the Before Times, and far more. It was a place of inspiration, of reclamation. It was a place, I recall, where one could rediscover the soul, if one thought it had left them. Or find the heart, if the heart was lost. It was the only place in Cairn-Aisling where people dared to dream, to hope, to imagine. And so for that I am grateful. Were it not for this humble origin, this obscure blot on a landscape of nothing, I'd never have first heard of the Sidhe, or Fairy Mounds with their resplendent halls full of richer bounty than any the Breith would ever see. Nor would ever I have had the kindling of my wanderlust lit underneath me, so that I must leap up and into the unknown world to explore all of its strangeness. And I certainly would never have performed in magical courts before austere Faerie Queens and aloof Fey Kings, magnificent and intimidatingly proud of bearing, across the Veil, on the Other Side of Midnight.
It doesn't look like much, does it? But for every place in life where one feels dreams must surely go to die, there are other places, and they may indeed not look like much. But in some of those places dreams are born...'
~ Upon Reflection, Chapter 1 of The Mirror of the Self, by Taliesin.
This is where TechSupport Paul, who has taken to writing the occasional Veil based tale, will share his work, and I'll pitch in with vignettes and certain pieces, when the fancy takes. I know we are not many here, but quality counts for something, surely?

Hail Hero!
Welcome to the Round Table of Camelyn! In this place you can pull up a chair, and listen to the Heroes of the Veil share their news or share some of your own!
Here at the House of Triskelion we do not ask you respect one another, we simply assume you are responsible enough to treat others respectfully of your own accord and if it is proven otherwise ye shall be thrice cursed! Remember; we are all friends here.
It is actually intended as a discussion group about the game, and the development of it going forward. We welcome all topics for discussion and we'll join in as we may, and hopefully we can continue our bonds well into the future, through the mists of time.
Ours backers have been so passionate and so willing to help us succeed and it has been wonderful to get to know you all. We hope we can continue that here with you all. Do get yourself a membership, set up a profile pic, and join us at the table!
Much love & Blessed Be!
